Answer:

x=2.5 or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)

We will use the factors 4 and 5.

=(2x-5)(x+4)=0

2x-5=0   || x+4=0

2x=+5      || x=-4

x=2.5  or x=-4

Answer:

x = 5/2, -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x - 20            

NOTE:  2 * -20 = -40 so we need 2 numbers whose product is - 40 and whose sum is + 3.  These are + 8 and -5, so we write

= 2x^2 + 8x - 5x - 20     Factor by grouping:

= 2x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4)

= (2x - 5)(x + 4)

so x = 5/2, -4 are the roots.

Assuming that the triangles are congruent, you can just look at the parts on each triangle to find the parts on the other triangle. The answers are yes, yes, and no. The triangles are obviously not drawn to scale, so just remember to never rely on it being so.

One of the legs of a right triangle is twice as long as the other, and the perimeter of the triangle is 35. Find the
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

6.68, 13.37, 14.95

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the legs is twice as long as the other.

b = 2a

The perimeter is 35.

35 = a + b + c

The triangle is a right triangle.

c² = a² + b²

Three equations, three variables.  Start by plugging the first equation into the second and solving for c.

35 = a + 2a + c

c = 35 − 3a

Now plug this and the first equation into the Pythagorean theorem:

(35 − 3a)² = a² + (2a)²

1225 − 210a + 9a² = a² + 4a²

1225 − 210a + 4a² = 0

Solve with quadratic formula:

a = [ -(-210) ± √((-210)² − 4(4)(1225)) ] / 2(4)

a = (210 ± √24500) / 8

a ≈ 6.68 or 45.82

Since the perimeter is 35, a = 6.68.  Therefore, the other sides are:

b ≈ 13.37

c ≈ 14.95

Liz wants to estimate the percentage of people who rent their home. She surveys 320 individuals and finds that 176 rent their ho
SOVA2 [1]

Answer: 0.065

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size : n= 320

The sample proportion of people who rent their home : p=\dfrac{176}{320}=0.55

Significance level : \alpha:1-0.98=0.02

Then , Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=2.33

The formula to find the margin of error : -

E=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=(2.33)\sqrt{\dfrac{0.55(1-0.55)}{320}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ E=0.064799034281\approx0.065

Hence, the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population proportion with a 98% confidence level =0.065
